DRIVE LEVER, NEUTRAL LOCK/PARK BRAKE LATCH OPERATION

4.1.4Operator Presence Control (OPC) Levers:

Located on the upper handle assembly directly above the handle grips. When these levers are depressed, the OPC system senses that the operator is in the normal operator's position. When the levers are released, the OPC system senses that the operator has moved from the normal operating position and will kill the engine if either the transmission shift lever is not in the neutral position or the blade clutch is engaged.

4.1.5Blade Engagement Lever:

Located on the left side of the upper handle. To engage the blades, push the lever forward, or away from the operator, until the turnbuckle locks over-center. To disengage the blades, pull the lever to the rear, or towards the operator, until the bell crank, located at the rear of the engine deck, contacts the deck.

4.1.6Throttle-Choke Control:

Kawasaki,Kohler, and B&S 10.5 hp Engines:

The throttle-choke control lever is located on the control console right side. Choke aids in starting a cold engine. The choke control is a part of the throttle control and activates by moving the throttle control lever to the full forward position. You will notice a detent at the "full throttle" position (approximately 3/4" from top of slot) continue pushing forward into the "choke" position.

Once the engine has started, move the throttle control lever to the midway point and allow the engine to warm-up before going to full throttle.

All Kawasaki, Kohler, and B&S 10.5 hp engines are equipped with "throttle kill" as a standard feature. Moving the throttle control lever to the full rear position will kill the engine. You will notice the control lever will fall into
